Přehled

The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is looking for a new colleague to join The terahertz spectroscopy group to carry out far-field and near-field time-resolved experiments and participate in the development of new experiments in the terahertz lab. The position is linked to a research grant of Czech Science Foundation on graphene plasmonics.

What will you do

  • The research will be focused on experimental studies of the plasmonics in lithographically prepared variously patterned epitaxial graphene nanostructures and some other 2D materials
  • The candidate should be able to master our custom-made THz setups (steady-state Thz spectroscopy, optical pump – THz probe spectroscopy, multi-THz (two-color air-based) setup and THz-SNOM spectroscopy and imaging) and carry out studies in selected structures
  • The candidate should be also able to actively participate in building new time-resolved THz experiments
    Strong participation of the candidate on the interpretation of the results is expected

What do we expect

  • PhD in solid state physics, materials science or optics
  • Demonstrated experience with THz spectroscopy and/or ultrafast optical experiments, not only as a pure user: an experience with setting up and alignments of such experiments is also required.
  • Experience with local-probe microscopy (AFM or similar) can be an advantage
  • Experience with the spectroscopy of solid state
  • Very good spoken and written English
  • Keen to learn new physics and methods, ability to solve problems independently

Why to join us

  • Access to equipment and facilities.
  • A collaborative and international research environment.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and involvement in high-impact research projects.
  • We support further education
  • Find out more about us –  Why FZU? 

What can we offer

  • Meal allowance, a number of dining options in the vicinity
  • After the first year of employment, contribution to pension and life insurance, contribution to recreation, culture or sports
  • English lessons at the workplace
  • Free parking in the area
  • Possibility to use the recreational facilities of the FZU in Krkonoše
  • Yoga in the workplace, Multisport card and other benefits

It´s good to know 

  • Place of work – Slovanka, Pod Vodarenskou vezi 1, Praha 8 – Liben
  • Fixed-term employment: 1 year with the prospect of long-term cooperation
  • Full time work (1 FTE)
  • Possible to start IMMEDIATELY (or by agreement)
    …

The starting date is in summer or autumn 2025 (depending on the mutual agreement and visa procedure). The contract is offered until end of December 2026 with a possibility of prolongation.

General employment questions should be addressed to Klara Veverkova veverkova@fzu.cz

Research-related enquiries to Petr Kuzel kuzelp@fzu.cz
